Water Temperature Readings

Just wondering what water temp readings people are getting?

I was 2km off back of Garden Island last week recording 25.2C, palegics jumping out of the water every where.

Recorded same temp in Cockburn Sound while crabbing ( prob why no squid around).

My warmest temp i have recorded in the past 10 years was 23.8C.

The Water temperatures or Cockburn Sound showing here at work is 25 deg C

 

It is perhaps 1/2 dec C up on what we heve most years once the heat load is happening.

 

Sea Surface Temp web site shows a few eddies of hotter water close to Garden Is.

thanks for the replies, and no Beau, didnt catch any , we did call them for Tuna, but was hard to get a 100% ID, would be well worth a trawl behind the island.
